Tonight’s huge slate is filled with value plays, but there is really just one star worth rostering for his price. Oddly, point guard is the most difficult slot to find value at tonight and there are enough options at most other positions tonight to make your head explode. Remember to monitor lineups for late scratches, as is common in the NBA. Let’s take a look at how the cash game lineup came together:

Point Guard
Goran Dragic (MIA): $6,700 @ WAS
As I mentioned, point guard is difficult. Russell Westbrook draws San Antonio, Kemba Walker and Kyle Lowry have been inconsistent and Tyler Johnson, who would otherwise be a nice cheap starter, is dealing with an illness and is thus too risky for cash games. That leads us to Dragic, who has a decent matchup this evening, but is among the most consistent players in daily fantasy basketball. He isn’t a sure bet to hit 5x value, but you know he won’t give worse than 4x, and tonight, we will settle for that.
